Faithful Father

Whether you came from a safe and secure family or you were abandoned and abused, you have a heavenly Daddy who loves and adores you.

Often people who I come alongside as a Faith Coach are reluctant to believe they are loved by God. They ask, “If God loves me, why would He allow this horrible thing to happen?”

After expressing empathy, I explain that one of our greatest gifts is freewill and the ability to choose. We are never forced to become a robot controlled by a heavenly Dictator. Instead people are given a choice to follow a Faithful Father or a deceptive Devil. Those who choose to believe the lies of this world and follow the evil desires of their flesh will go down a path of destruction and commit evil deeds toward others.

Our heavenly Daddy waits patiently for us to choose Him. He already chose you over His own Son who willingly left the glory of heaven to pay the price for you to become part of His family. We are chosen, adopted, and given an inheritance of a heavenly home if we choose to believe.

Jesus came to demonstrate the Father’s love as God Himself came in the flesh to pay the penalty for our wicked wayward ways. He cares about you. Every good and perfect gift comes from your Papa in heaven.. He is a Faithful Father who protects, provides, and is always present with you.

God will never abandon or abuse you. Instead, He may gently guide you back to the safety of His loving arms as your heavenly Daddy disciplines. He wants to teach you to trust in His love. He wants to heal your heart and give you the hope of an abundant life with a glorious future. As His child, you are co-heir to the throne through Christ who came to give you eternal rewards when we surrender to His ways.

Promise from God: “I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty (2 Corin. 6:18).

Pray with me:Heavenly Father, we thank you that You adopted us into Your family to be Your children. It’s amazing to think that as King of kings, Lord of lords, and Almighty God that You love us so much that we are heirs to Your throne. You have chosen us. You have blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms. Help us remember to act like Your sons and daughters, a prince or princess in Your sight. As royalty may we remember our identity in Christ and reflect Your heavenly glory. You own the heavens and the earth and You long to give us the desires of our heart as our heavenly Daddy. As Your children we want to follow, honor, and respect You to demonstrate our love for You. Since You care about us intimately, we take every need before Your throne room of grace. We trust You to meet our needs believing You want to provide, heal, comfort, and reveal yourself to us and those we pray for. Thank you that You want the best for our lives. We surrender our circumstances to You in Jesus name. Amen.

How has God demonstrated His love to you through His protection, provision, and power in a difficult circumstance?
